    DSAS DIAGNOSTIC CHECKLIST

    DSAS DIAGNOSTIC CHECKLIST

    Vessel name       DSAS serial number DCC010     

    Please refer to the attached plan of the unit (Figure 1 at the end of this document) for guidance when performing
    these diagnostic tests.

    1. Check that the installation has a clear view of the satellite with no obstructions. Are there any other
    communications and/or electronic installations mounted within 2m of the DSAS? If so, please state what
    they are and how close they are.

         

    2. Take off the lid from the unit. Remove fuse F2, then remove fuse F5 (see Figure 1).

    3. Check the continuity of fuses F2 and F5 using the continuity setting on your multimeter.

    Fuse Continuity OK?

    F2 Yes No

    F5 Yes No

    4. What is the DC voltage across the BATTERY terminals (POS + & NEG -)?       V DC

    5. Replace fuse F5. LEDs 2 – 6 should each flash in turn. Yes


    No
    Then replace fuse F2.

    6. Wait two minutes (to allow the unit to verify the external power supply is OK). Which of the following
    LEDs stay on at the end of this sequence? (Tick only one box for each LED.)

    LED ON / LIT OFF / NOT LIT FLASHING

    LED 1 + Charge

    LED 2 OP1

    LED 3 OP2

    LED 4 OP3

    LED 5 OP4

    LED 6 OP5

    7. What is the DC voltage at the '24S' terminal relative to GROUND?       V DC

    8. Is there an AC component in the supply voltage? (Set meter to V AC.) Yes


    No
    Reading:      

    9. Disconnect the external power supply (this can be done by removing fuse F2). What is the state of the
    following LEDs after two minutes?

    LED ON / LIT OFF / NOT LIT FLASHING

    LED 1 + Charge

    LED 6 OP5

    10. Do a visual check of the circuit board. Do any components appear to be damaged? If so, which ones?

         

    11. Check that the black plastic connector is securely attached to the underside of the DMR-800 transceiver and
    that the locking ring is tight. (It may be necessary to undo the two Philips head screws on the base plate to
    check this.)

    12. Look at the status lights on the SkyWave DMR-800 transceiver (as shown in Figure 2).

    Figure 2: DMR-200 status LEDs

    Do any LEDs flash? Please note the flashing patterns below.

    LED Pattern Tick

    STAT Does not come on

    On continuously

    Fast flash

    1 flash, pause

    2 flashes, pause

    3 flashes, pause

    4 flashes, pause

    5 flashes, pause

    TX Does not come on

    On continuously

    ERR Does not come on

    On continuously

    Fast flash

    1 flash, pause

    2 flashes, pause

    3 flashes, pause

    4 flashes, pause

    13. If NO LEDs are lit over a period of 10 seconds, then check the 2A in-line fuse attached to the ‘RADIO
    UNIT POS’ terminal. In order to do this, undo the two Philips head screws on either side of the top plate and
    hinge open the top plate (see Figure 1).

    14. Return this completed checklist to your Pole Star distributor.
